Back in December 2018, Tumblr went kablooey. It didn't just take down porn blogs. It also took down many blogs written by wise, kind and deeply experienced kinky folks.
Using special tools, I have been digging through the wreckage to find the treasures that have proven to be so valuable for so many. I have been curating the collection: gathering articles together, re-formatting them for clarity and re-posting them in a safe space:
The Kink Mentoring Archives
